JB Garcia and Raffy Mapua caught 12 shibi for a super day of tuna action

With 20 kph trades blowing we took off for my next favorite buoy. At the buoy we baited and after a few passes we got a nice size shibi on and at gaff a marlin shows up behind it and we get a bait out to it but it does not want to eat it. Then it was one or 2 each pass it was hot action lots of screaming reels, and these guys did a great job reeling all these fish in, good going. Aloha Capt Rusty

The Delacy Family Nick, Micheal, Jeff, Daniel and David caught 8 mahi and one big 60 pound shibi for some great action today

With a hint of light off we go on this day of 15 kph trades going to my next favorite buoy. Along the way we hooked 2 mahi in an open school and land them both. At the buoy we baited and took a double shibi and only one stuck and we got it a nice 60 pounder. Ther were no birds at the buoy today so a few more bait passes and off we go looking around. We found a big pile of birds but got no hits in them. Then an open school pops up and we take a single and Scot baits up 5 more and we get them all, thats what a skilled crew can do for you. These guys did great today good going men. Aloha Capt Rusty

We got going at first light on this day of 25 kph trades going to my old favorite buoy. At the buoy we baited and Scoit hooked 2 shibi right away and we got them both. More baiting and no bites so we jigged and caught a few more shibi. When we baited again a nice big mahi ate a bait Bruce landed it a 28 pounder. These guys did great today, good going men. Aloha Capt Rusty

At the perfect time off we go headed to the west side becuse all Valerie wants is a marlin. So we zoomed a bit and when we set lines we were outside makua. Scot had only put out 4 lines before this marlin slamed the rigger and came back and ate it hooking up solidly. With Valerie in the chair this fish jumped around screaming out 300+ yards of line, she did her best for a while then Steve took over to finish the job in about 40 minutes or so. They both did great landing this super fish. Then we went outside and saw lots of birds but got no hits. Congradulations on your marlin Valerie. Aloha Capt Rusty

Right on time off we go on this day of 20 kph trades going to my old favorite buoy. At the buoy we baited and Scot hooked 2 shibi and we landed them both. Then the porpoise showed up and we had to jigg and finaly caugth an aku far from the buoy. Then we chased an open school of mahi but only had a nibble that did not stick. These folks did great considering what was out there today. Aloha Capt Rusty

We set sail in the darkness on this day of 10-15 kph trades going to my old favorite buoy. At the buoy we baited and Scot hooked a mahi and a shibi and we got them both.

These folks did great landing all these fish, they were a seaworthy crew for sure, good going a pleasure to have aboard. Aloha Capt Rusty
